The victim of a sedating drug like gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) may exhibit signs of memory loss, dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, impaired motor skills, impaired judgment, reduced inhibition, or a variety of other symptoms. Depending on the circumstances, some of these symptoms may still be present when the victim speaks with the health care provider, law enforcement, or rape crisis personnel. Indeed, the victim may appear intoxicated or "hung over". When this drug is mixed with alcohol, it can be lethal.
